The inner-painted snuff bottle is a unique national handicraft that emerged after snuff was introduced into China. Its production techniques are mainly spread in Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, and Shantou, forming the "Beijing School", "Hebei School", "Lu School" and "Guangdong School" and other schools. After the snuff bottles flowed into Beijing, they were used by royal relatives, princes, ministers and bannermen with status. In addition to the imperial workshops, snuff bottles were also produced in large quantities by the people. From about 1890 to 1945, the production and development of inner-painted snuff bottles reached its peak, and Zhou Leyuan, Ding Erzhong, Ma Shaoxuan, and Ye Zhongsan, known as the "Four Great Inner-painting Masters", appeared. These folk artists created the first Beijing inner-painted snuff bottles. In 1954, Ye Zhongsan's descendants Ye Xi (Xiaofeng) and Ye Qi were hired to the Beijing Institute of Arts and Crafts to begin training Ye Shuying to learn art. In 1958, they accepted Wang Xisan (Wang Ruicheng) as their apprentice, and later accepted Liu Shouben and other apprentices. Around 1970, the Ye brothers passed away one after another. Their disciple Wang Xisan founded the "Hebei School of Inner Painting" in Hengshui City, Hebei Province, and Liu Shouben became the leader of the modern "Beijing School of Inner Painting". Beijing Inner Painting Snuff Bottles have been passed down for four generations.
